I don't know if this is the *official* distinction, but we use 
milestones and versions in the following way.


- A milestone is created for each future version of the software we 
intend to release. This includes bug fix releases as well as major 
planned versions.


- When a bug is found and a ticket is created, we set the version 
field to the version of our product in which the bug was discovered. 
This is later updated if the bug was found to have been introduced in 
an earlier version.


- If a ticket is created for an enhancement or task (i.e. anything 
other than a bug) then the version field is left empty.


- Periodically I set the milestones of all tickets to be the 
version(s) in which we expect the bugs to be fixed or features to be 
introduced.


- When we tag a new release the milestone is marked as completed and 
we then add the version of the new release to the version list in Trac 
(so that bugs can be filed against that version). A new milestone is 
then created for the next release in that branch.


Hope this helps!

A milestone is normally in the future, a version is in the past.  A milestone
can be "coding finished" or "RTM" as well, but a version is usually a real
product version.

We use milestones for "when to fix something by" and versions for "what
version was it found in".
